    1911 recoil spring

    I have a question on the recoil of the 1911. I have 2 1911's - Colt Combat Elite Government model and a newly purchased Remington R1 Gov't Model. I am used to the comfortable recoil of the Colt but was surprised how the R1 kicked using the same 200gr RN bullet. It actually felt like a 40SW...

    Gun Violence Tax

    I pity the gunshops of Seattle. Seattle just passed a " Gun Violence Tax" on dealers in Seattle. "Under the new Seattle law, gun sellers will be taxed $25 for every gun sold plus 2 or 5 cent taxes on each round of ammunition." The city is hoping to use the tax on research on gun violence and...

    CZ Scorpion Evo

    Hello folks! I am eyeing the CZ Scorpion Evo. I am wanting to add the arm brace or whatever you call it. They are also selling "arm braces" that actually look like buttstocks. I am hoping to shoot the "pistol" that way. Please school me on the legality of this. Thanks.

    Hello everybody. I have a Springfield M1A Scout Squad and am trying to sight in with iron sights. I read on the internet :scrutiny:, that you can get zero at 25m creating a zero for 200m. I have bottomed out the rear sight and still the POI is 4" above the bullseye. And let's say that's the...

    Odd question on my Glocks

    OK, I have Gen 4 Glock 22 in coyote brown grip and recently purchased a Gen 4 Glock 17 in regular black. I was playing around with the guns and interchanged the full slide assembly. And they fit! Will the guns function normally if they are interchanged?

    Eotech 512 on a flat top

    Hello folks. I am wanting to purchase an Eotech 512 for my flat top Ruger AR556. It has a foldable rear sight and a fixed front sight. Will the view on the Eotech 512 clear the front sight completely?

    Which shot killed the deer?

    OK , my friend and have a dilemna. We're not sure who killed the deer. This morning we went hunting in the rolling wheat fields in our area. He spots a tall 3x3 mule deer bedded on the side a ridge. We get close enough for a shot. I told him that he could have the deer. He told me I...

    CZ75 front sight

    I have a CZ 75B and went shooting a week ago. While shooting, somehow I lost "sight" of the front sight. It has a 3 dot sight. I am not sure if it has the Tritium sights but they are a faint greenish hue. Anyway, the green hueseemed to have fallen off. I really don't want to send it back...

    Question on barrel thickness

    I just purchased a Ruger AR 556, which was I must say quite hard to find. I did notice that the entire barrel is much thicker than my DPMS AR. What is the significance of this? Is it for accuracy, durability, strength?

    Question on my Colt 1911

    I have a Colt 1911 Combat Elite that I purchased brand new about a month ago and have run maybe about 50 rounds on it and I have been very satisfied with it. I was playing with trigger today. I pulled back the hammer to half cock, depressed the grip safety and pulled the trigger. The hammer...

    hunting jacket

    I am new to hunting by stalking and have just been doing it for the past 2 years. Back in south Texas, I was used to hunting in blinds over feeders. Any animal, be it deer, coyote, javelina or hogs were easily transported by my truck, which I could drive to after the kill. But here in WA...

    Ending the animal's life...

    OK, I have a question for big game hunters. If you dispatched an animal and it was not an instant kill and you approached it and it was still alive. Would you let it die slowly or kill it instantly? And how would you do it?

    scope adjustment

    I have a question, and may already have the answer but I just want to be sure. With a scope that can be adjusted 1 click per 1/4 MOA, am I right to say that 1 click at 200 yards would be 1/2" and 1" at 300 yards? Please clarify, thanks.

    Gov't model 1911

    Of all the handguns I have, the 1911 platform seems to agree with me the most. I have a Ruger SR1911 Commander that I am quite accurate with and have recently purchased an RIA 1911 9mm gov't model. Now I have this terrible itch to buy a full size 1911 in 45AP. Aside from the fact that I...
